PA view: No radius/ulnar overlap, 3rd metacarpal should be parallel with radius. Gilula arcs (3 arcs): proximal and distal lines of proximal row, proximal line of capitate/hamate. All should be 1-2mm separation between each other. Scaphoid should be elongated. Distal radius should articulate with 1/2 the lunate. Best view for looking for: scapholunate dissociation,

Lateral view: Three Cs: radius, lunate, and capitate. Look at angles of axis of scaphoid and lunate (should be between 30-60 degrees). Radius volar tilt should be less than 10-15 degrees. Best view for looking for: perilunate/lunate dislocation, distal radius fractures, capitate fracture.
